We found the factors 993,165,102 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 993,165,102 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,12,480
2 | 15, 12, 480 |
2 | 15, 6, 240 |
3 | 15, 3, 120 |
5 | 5, 1, 40 |
1, 1, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 8 = 480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 993/15,165/12,102/480 is 3/480
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 15,12,480 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,12,480) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 60
GCF(15,12,480) x common factors =3 x 60 = 180
LCM(15,12,480) = ( 15 × 12 × 480 ) / 180
LCM(15,12,480) = 86400 / 180
LCM(15,12,480) = 480
